The Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile is the first of the Galaxy S-class phones to be released in the United States. Its standout features are a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, six-axis gyro-type sensor that makes gaming a breeze, a 1GHz Hummingbird processor for speed and some 16GB of storage on the phone itself.

The Samsung Vibrant (the first of the original Galaxy S devices to hit the U.S.) is no longer supported by CyanogenMod. According to developer Abhisek Devkota, issues with the way the radio interface layer interacts with the audio layer leads to a loss of the ability to dial 911, and this issue can not be solved without source code from Samsung. In his own words:
We are no longer supporting...

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has yet to officially hit any phone other than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but since the source code dropped a while back everyone and their brother has been working on getting on their phone. The Samsung Vibrant is no exception, and there happens to be quite a nice little ROM named "Passion" being developed by neobuddy89 that's getting some very nice reviews --...

The Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant for Bell and Virgin Mobile Canada has received the official Gingerbread update, but the bad news is that you'll need to use Kies to install it. Just like the Froyo release for the T-Mobile US version, this means digging out your cable and sorting out drivers and generally a big mess that the average user won't be bothered to do. But I'll go on the assumption that...

If you're in Canada and looking to pick up the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, you may want to check out Virgin Mobile. They are currently offering this device for just $349.99 with no contract, which looks like a great deal compared to some of the other carrier's prices. And with carriers changing data plans left and right, there's no better time to look into pre-paid services.You can find full...

If you're using a Samsung Vibrant, LG Optimus T, Motorola Defy, Motorola Cliq XT, or a T-Mobile Comet, you can finally grab the version 6.2 update of Telenav from the Android Market. We had a look at the new Telenav when it first rolled out a while back, and some of the new features are really nice. One of the best features is the multiroute suggestions, which can give you up to three ways to...

We've been seeing serious work on getting the GSM flavors of the Samsung Galaxy S line into the CyanogenMod 7 project for about three months, but now it's officially official -- the Samsung Vibrant, Samsung Captivate, and Samsung Galaxy S i9000 have been merged into the CM7 source tree. Nightlies are currently building, and should be ready for you to test TDR's bandwidth very shortly.Note that...

Slipped in under the radar this week has been an update to the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant. This update -- aka T959UVKB5 (or KB5, for short) is just some bugfixes, and T-Mobile's not saying exactly what bugs are being fixed. (No, it's not Gingerbread.)And now, the bad part: The update's not being pushed out over the air. Instead, you have to use the Samsung Kies Mini software. It's not the worst...

Yes, you read that right -- The Samsung Vibrant now has its very own CyanogenMod 7 (official) test release. It's clearly labeled as a TEST RELEASE, so don't expect miracles just yet, but finding and fighting bugs is half the fun of fooling with custom ROMs for many of us anyway. You can find all the details and download information at the source link.Let's be serious here for a minute. You're...

Samsng is in a giving mood today -- not only have they provided the source code for the impending Epic 4G Froyo update, they have placed the code for the Vibrant's Froyo update online as well. Once again, this isn't something for the average user to download and flash, it's for developers to use and enhance the existing Vibrant software, or to use in their own flavor of Android for the Samsung...

T-Mobile wants to share a little love this Valentine's Day, and they are trying to win your heart with free phones. On Feb. 11 and 12 (hey, that's this weekend!) all phones on T-Mobile will be free.
